 FTP error: 421 Service Not Available
wu-2.6.0 ftp server on RH6.2
Happens when connecting from anywhere
----------
I carelessly deleted my /usr/sbin directory. Upon restoring it from a
near-identical machine (my backups for this machine were corrupt) I am
getting this after entering my username:

------start copy/paste------------

[root@servername /]# ftp servername
Connected to servername.mydomain.net.
220 servername.mydomain.net FTP server (Version wu-2.6.0(3) Wed Oct 25
19:13:25 BST 2000) ready.
Name (servername:myusername): myusername
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
Login failed.
No control connection for command: No such file or directory
ftp> quit
[root@servername /]#

------end copy/paste---------------

I use this ftp server everyday, so I know it worked just prior to
deleting the /usr/sbin directory.  It has been a while since I have
troubleshooted an ftp connection.  What could have gone wrong here?

Thanks,
Rob

You deleted the in.wuftpd daemon in /usr/sbin. This is invoked by inetd
or xinetd on demand.
